Then stop playing Notre Dame. The SEC stopped playing them years ago and haven't missed a beat.

It's easily one of the three greatest rivalries in college ball.

Pitt/WVA, KU/Mizzou, Nebraska/Oklahoma, and Texas/AM were also great rivalries.

Not 23 national championships and 14 Heisman winners great.

Iron Bowl and Ohio State-Michigan are the only other rivalries on par right now and historically.

Iron Bowl is intense. I'll also give a nod to the Red River Rivalry. Having lived 10 minutes away from Ann Arbor for a number of a years, it's just not as intense as other rivalries. The history is unmatched, but the hate that is in the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn goes above and beyond it.

Granted, but this particular rivalry having far and away more hardware than any other rivalry in the country puts it in the discussion for tops.

Hang on. Ohio State used this as an excuse to cancel several future series, one with us was in there i'm pretty sure, and now the whole plan falls apart. Genius!
